Full Description

Kettering University Engineering Co-op, R&D – New Product Development Who We Are Stryker is seeking to hire an engineering co-op to support Orthopaedic Instrument’s new product development team. This role is onsite in Portage, MI. Stryker Orthopaedic Instruments Join Stryker OI Who We Want • Motivated product launchers. Engineers who bring strategic direction and drive for execution to ensure products are developed and launched with precision. • Dedicated achievers. Relentless about quality, people who thrive in a fast-paced environment and will passionately work to ensure a project and product satisfies customer needs and meets regulations and expectations. • Curious learners. Engineers who seek out practical methods and information to expand and enhance their ability. • Collaborative partners. People who build and leverage cross-functional relationships to bring together ideas, information, use cases, and industry analyses to develop best practices. What You Will Do The engineering co-op will aid in the design, development, modification, and evaluation of medical devices that support our robotic and computer assisted product lines. This role is focused on new product development engineering; you will work collaboratively with customers, quality, sourcing and advanced operations partners to perform customer research, technology research, design, test, and documenting electrical components, architectures, systems, and products. Primary Responsibilities: • Assist with prototyping and bench testing. • Support problem solving, identify potential solutions, and evaluate them against requirements. • Under supervision, conduct research and studies to support product design. • Assist in interpreting customer needs and understanding design inputs. • Learn the product’s intended use and clinical procedures. • With supervision, create or refine engineering documentation, such as the Design History file per company design control procedures. • Learn R&D procedures like design controls and risk management, per the Quality Management System. • Work cooperatively with R&D, Quality, Manufacturing, Regulatory, Clinical, Marketing and Project Management to ensure project success and contribute to the project as a team member. Electrical Engineering Majors: • Support creation of embedded systems requirements/architecture for new products leading to engineering PCB assembly board-spins/bring-ups and finally to a finished product. • Through design process, will complete analysis for electromagnetic compliance (EMC), reliability, safety, cost, and design for manufacturing/assembly/test. • Work with multiple technologies including voltage regulators, mixed analog/digital circuits, embedded microcontrollers/microprocessors, FPGA’s, motor controllers and sensors. • Occasionally debug hardware using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other hardware tools. Software Engineering/Computer Science Majors: • Support development of procedures and scripts for requirements-based testing of medical devices in accordance with internal software development lifecycle requirements in compliance with FDA software development guidance. • Supports the research and design of machine learning frameworks and programs capable of adapting to the environment and data collected to produce intelligent outputs. • Supports the design and testing of system applications and user interfaces. Mechanical Engineering Majors: • Under supervision, design, develop, modify, and verify mechanical components for medical devices. • Assist with prototyping and bench testing. • Support problem solving, root cause analysis, identify potential solutions, and evaluate them against requirements. • Under supervision, conduct research and studies to support product design. What You Need • Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, or related at Kettering University • Cumulative 3.0 GPA or above; must be the case at the date of hire and also will be verified during background check • Must be legally authorized to work in the U.S. and not require employment-based sponsorship now or in the future • Excellent written and verbal communication skills • Strong organizational, problem-solving, and analytical skills; able to manage priorities and workflow • Proficient on basic computer programs: Microsoft Excel, Word, PowerPoint • Strong interpersonal skills • Electrical Engineering majors: Basic knowledge in electrical engineering (e.g. circuit design and analysis, benchtop testing methods, debugging skills, technical writing skills, etc) • Software Engineering/Computer Science majors: Preferred knowledge in Matlab, C/C++/Phython, and interest in software testing • Mechanical Engineering majors: Basic knowledge in 3D modeling software programs Pay rate will not be below any applicable local minimum wage rates.
